Your thoughtful contribution provided resources for our book club, and the joy on the girls' faces when they received \"They All Had A Reason\" and \"Powerless\" was unforgettable. In our Title I school, located in a historically underserved area, these gifts are more than just materials—they are powerful reminders that our students are supported and valued.\r\n\r\nThanks to your support, our book club has blossomed into a safe and inspiring space where students can explore literature, share ideas, and build community. The books have sparked deep conversations about identity, resilience, and choice, while the bookmarks and snacks have added a personal touch that makes each meeting feel special. For many of our girls, this is their first experience engaging with contemporary fiction in a group setting, and it's already making a meaningful impact on their confidence and enthusiasm for reading.\r\n\r\nBeyond the stories themselves, your donation is helping our students develop essential skills such as critical thinking, textual analysis, and respectful dialogue. They are learning to interpret character motivations, identify themes, and express their insights both verbally and in writing. These are not just academic exercises—they are life skills that will serve them well in school and beyond. Thank you for investing in their growth and for helping us nurture a love of learning that will last a lifetime.","fullyFundedDate":1752844958871,"projectUrl":"project/booked-for-the-summer-engaging-book-clu/9329952/","projectTitle":"Booked for the Summer: Engaging Book Club Reads","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Moore","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7741793_orig.jpg?crop=322,322,x0,y34&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723668556245","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/keurig4kids"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14393","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1174,"numTeachers":70,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":23,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":72,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":57.5,"schoolId":14393,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dr. L.G.
